I’ve mentioned before how much I enjoy a nice caprese salad. Besides being visually appealing, the traditional combination of flavors is as bright and striking as the dish itself. I also love how simple it is. With just a few common, easy to find ingredients, you can create a delicious appetizer that will have people coming back for more.

One of the fun things about a caprese salad, though, is that because there’s no cooking involved, it’s not hard to tweak the recipe and make it your own. So why not shake things up completely? With this Citrus Caprese recipe, all you have to do is swap the tomato for fresh citrus slices and the olive oil for some honey and you’ve turned a savory salad into a sweet treat the whole family can enjoy.

For this unique take on a caprese salad, it all starts with Galbani 1882 fresh mozzarella cheese.

Galbani fresh mozzarella has a delicate taste and moist, soft texture that makes it perfect for pairing with slices of fresh, juicy citrus like oranges and grapefruit. Of course, it’s also essential for a hot and cold sandwiches, pizza and antipasti platters and much more.

And because Galbani fresh mozzarella is available pre-sliced in either an 8-ounce ball or 16-ounce log, it’s no sweat to adjust this citrus Caprese recipe as needed. Grab a ball if you’re expecting a smaller gathering, or pick up a log or two to make several plates for a crowd-pleasing spread.

One of the things I like most about this recipe is that you can enjoy it just about any time of day. Serve it with sausage or bacon and some toast for a nice, light breakfast or brunch option. It’s also great as a healthy mid-day snack when you’re craving something sweet and light. Or pair it with your favorite wine for some easy after-dinner entertaining.

  2. Step 1 of the Instructions states ” Heat vinegar, orange juice, and honey over medium heat until bubbling. Lower heat to medium-low and reduce.* Take off heat and set aside.” The use of an asterisk indicates that the author refers the reader to a (1) notes, (2) tips, or (3) other related area of the recipe for further information or instruction. However, there is nothing to which your use of the asterisk refers. Please clarify. Thank you
